Read the rule to describe the past perfect:

The past perfect describes an action which happened before other past events in a narrative.

FORM:

AFFIRMATIVE | NEGATIVE | INTERROGATIVE
I have + past participle | I have + not + past part | Have I past participle?
he/she/it has + past part | he/she/it has+not past participle | has he/she/it past part?
we/you/they have + past participle | we/you/they has + not + past part | have we/you/they + past part

 REMEMBER:

- Regular Verbs: past participle ending -ed.
- Irregular Verbs: past participle is 3rd column from the list of verbs.

CHECK THIS!

There are time expressions which can help us to identify past perfect.

1. Three years after she had left the orphanage, she started to study.
2. Before the war, she was happy.
3. Life was hard during the war.
4. She lived in orphanages, until her father was found.
5. Her father has already moved to Germany.
